Shopping through taobao services

 Olá
 Esses dias resolvi fazer compras pelo Taobao .É  tipo um Ebay Chinês com várias roupas lindas da moda oriental a preços de banana. Certo, o único problema é que precisa de um 'Serviço de compras para taobao ' para poder comprar do site,já que não aceitam paypal nem nada.

 Recently I decided to shop from taobao. It's like a Chinese Ebay with several items suitable to asian fashion at ridiculously cheap prices. Right, the only thing is that you need a Taobao shopping service to buy from the website,since they don't accept paypal or anything.

 Depois de fazer muita pesquisa escolhi Taobaoring que parecia a opção mais barata e confiável.

After doing some research I chose Taobaoring which seems like the most trustworthy and cheap option.

Depois de escolher o que queria, seguir as instruções e fazer o primeiro pagamento , todo o processo foi muito rápido. Recebi um pacote dentro de poucos dias ( ainda bem né, o preço da frete foi enorme)

After choosing what I wanted, following some instructions and making the first payment, the rest was very fast and I received a package within a couple of days. (Good, the price for delivery was very high)

  Encomendei / I ordered

2 meias calças / tights

2 blusas / shirts

Tudo chegou em ordem , até recebi um lacinho grátis como presente de uma das lojas.

Everything arrived fine, I even received a free bow as a gift from one of the shops.

Gostaria de dar mais detalhes, mas está muito tarde e eu estou cansada depois de uma prova pesada de psicologia... --'  A blusa azul e uma das meias calças que eu comprei podem ser vistas no post sobre a Bubblegum Emporium. ^-^

I'd like to give more details, but it's very late and I'm tired after a hard psychology exam... --' 

The blue shirt and one of the tights can be seen worn in the post about Bubblegum Emporium ^-^ 

A very short rant about The PS4 Press conference!

  It's nearly five in the morning here, I stayed up all night to watch the PS4 press conference so I could have a formed opinion on it. I'm sorry for the lack of coherence that this post might have.

 First of all, I left Sony on the launch of the ps3 and have been an xbox fan since then. Even so, the ps2 is probably still my favourite console but the ps3 just didn't appeal to me. When they revealed the PS4 there were all these rumours that it wouldn't have backward compatibility , you wouldn't be able to play used games,etc. and I thought I'd stick with the Xbox for another generation.

 When Microsoft unveiled the 'Xbox one' I couldn't be more ashamed. Not only is it ugly, it lacks potential, it's expensive as hell and it's completely controlled by Microsoft rather than you having ownership of games and console once you buy them. Not to mention that crap that the player has to be online at all times. That's when I thought I'd stick to my 360 for another decade since next-gen was looking grim.
  
 That's until tonight, when Sony blew my head off with its fantastic proposal for the PS4 (which btw has a sleek design), and it wasn't just me. If you look on the comments of the video, there are tons of xbox fans baffled about their new found feelings for the Playstation. 
 There was little focus on the social media side of things. They talked about the share button on the new controller and mentioned some movie services that would be available on the PS4. But their sole focus was on the games.
 One of the main reasons Playstation has me back on their side...

 Tetsuya Nomura, the director of Final Fantasy Versus 13 came up and announced they would go into details of the game in the upcoming days but in the meantime he had a trailer to share with us. And it was AWESOME. After years and years of nothing but bread crumbs Square has given us half of the loaf and I'm satisfied. The wait was worth it and this games looks next gen for sure. The trailer showed a few characters and gave us some enigmatic information on the plot. It involves 'crystals' and that's all I know for sure apart from the fact that it looks quite action based.

 Also the games is no longer 'versus XIII' it is now 'Final fantasy XV'. Yup. Took my breath away.

  I was happy enough to finally know that this game would still become true someday because until then I thought that they just given up on the project and were quiet about it. But then Squeenix decides to spoil the fans by giving us another trailer...

It started with a retrospective look on all the past Kingdom Hearts games, and then Sora comes and picks up a keyblade. We then proceed to Twilight town where Sora is being chased by a swarm of heartless and he skilfully dodges and fights them, eventually riding them like a wave. 

 The next scene was the logo. The long awaited logo that we saw so many times being photoshoped onto fake covers of KH III. But now it's actually here.

The words KH fans have been waiting to hear for so many years. I wasn't expecting this at all, I thought they'd only talk about it after VERSUS was released (which I then thought 'never'). I can't wait!  I almost cried when I saw this short trailer.

Square then announced that the FF 14 remake will be available on PS3 and PS4. A smart move if they are to redeem themselves on that game's credibility.

Well, if that wasn't enough to make me fall in love wit Playstation straight away they confirmed that:

♥ The PS4 will have backwards compatibility

♥It will allow you to play used games

♥You won't need to be online at all times in order to play a game

♥They offered a bunch of special offers and top ups for owners of the PS4 live

♥ The price? It's only £349 .

They owned Microsoft in every single way. Do I even need to say it? I'll be surprised if people would rather pay £459 on a console that controls your every move and takes away from you all the goodness it previously offered. Microsoft should be absolutely ashamed and the only way to redeem themselves would be to start from scratch.

GOOD LUCK!

Playstation has got me back on their side and I'm not looking back.

Gothic Bimbo's Bubblegum Emporium Review

 Olá ヽ( >∀<)ﾉ ♪～
 Para quem não conhece, Bubblegum Emporium é uma loja com acessórios baratíssimos que são adequados para todos os estilos e idades. Recentemente a dona da loja resolveu mudar de direção e por isso estão fazendo  descontos enormes em uma parte do website, terminará na Sexta dessa semana e todos os items naquela categoria não serão mais vendidos depois disso. Resolvi aproveitar ~

   Helloヽ( >∀<)ﾉ ♪～
 For those of you who don't know, Bubblegum Emporium is a shop with accesories which are very cheap and suit all styles and ages. Recently the owner has decided to change directions and so there is massive clearance going on in the website, it will end on Friday of this week and all the items on that category will never be sold again. I decided to take advantage of the sale ~

This cat bag is awesome ~

Houve um pequeno problema na compra dessa bolsa , mas a dona da loja resolveu tudo no mesmo dia. Não me encomodou nem um pouco, só tive que esperar um tempinho a mais para receber a bolsa e valeu mesmo a pena. É linda e de ótima qualidade, veio com duas alças; uma mais curta para usar como bolsa de mão e uma mais longa pra usar no ombro. Deveria dizer que o serviço de atendimento ao cliente também foi ótimo (ﾉゝ∀･)~キラ☆

There was a small problem on the purchase of this bag, but the owner of the shop resolved it on the same day. It didn't bother me at all, I just waited a bit more to receive the bag and it was worth it. It's beautiful and of perfect quality, it came with two straps ; one so you could use it as a hand bag kind of thing and a longer one which enabled you to use it as a shoulder bag. I should say the customer service was also great  (ﾉゝ∀･)~キラ☆

Agora sei que meu dragão deve ficar longe dos meus pertences/Now I know My dragon has to stay away from my belongings

Tudo isso ficou em aproximadamente £3.50! / All of these were around £3.50!

O presentinho que veio junto com os  acessórios. São uma delicia/ The gift that came with the accessories. They're very yummy.

Adorei esses brincos de lego! /I loved these lego earrings (◕ ◡ ◕) 

Eu recomendaria o Bubblegum Emporium, a entrega foi rápida e não tive problema nenhum com outros aspectos da loja. Estou muito feliz de finalmente ter acessórios além de vários brincos sem par e somente um colar ☆(≧ω≦)

I would recomend Bubblegum Emporium , the delivery was fast and I had an overall pleasant experience. I'm very happy to finally have accesories other than my mismatched earrings and one necklace ☆(≧ω≦)

A bolsa de gato me inspirou  (°ε°), pela primeira vez tentei vestir algo que combinasse e deu nisso. Não é lá grande coisa mas é um grande passo para mim. Ficou até legal  (´；ω；`)

The cat bag inspired me (°ε°), for the first time I tried to wear an outfit that matches and this is the outcome. It's not great but it's a big step for me. It kind of looks ok  (´；ω；`)

First attempt at Decora phone case

 Faz muito tempo que estou querendo fazer uma capinha decora para meu celular, só que não tenho os materiais nas cores que eu quero.

 For a long time I've wanted to make a decora case for my phone but I don't have the materials in the colour I want.

  Uma grande oportunidade apareceu no aniversário da minha amiga de 18 anos. Queria dar um presente feito a mão e com um toque personalizado.

 A big opportunity came up on my friend's 18th birthday. I wanted to give a present that was handmade and personalized.

 Foi fácil achar uma capinha pro novo celular da Windows e depois foi só decorar, primeiro fiz um 'esboço' do design e depois foi só aplicar o Chantilly e as decorações por cima. Tentei usar quanto menos rosa o possível já que não é a cor favorita da minha amiga. Coloquei várias barras de chocolate já que ela adora e voilá, pronto.

 It was easy finding a covet for the new windows phone and afterwards all I had to do was decorate it. First I made a "rough" of the design and then I just applied the whipped cream and the decorations on top. I tried to use as little of the colour pink as possible because it isn't my friend's favourite colour, but I used lots of chocolate which she loves and voilá it was ready.

  Acho que ela gostou do presente pois começou a usá-lo imediatamente.  

Finalmente aqui na Inglaterra começou a fazer sol, só que é muito cedo pra dizer se o verão chegou pra ficar, de qualquer forma fomos fazer um churrasco na praia, o dia estava muito agradável tirando o fato de que eu tive que amarrar meus pés a alguém para não sair voando. O vento estava terrível e gelado ;-;

 I think she liked it the present since she started using it almost immediately.
Finally in England it has been sunny, but it's too soon to say that Summer has arrived. Either way we had a barbeque at the beach,  it was a lovely day except for the fact that I had to tie my feet to someone so the wind wouldn't take me away, it was terrible and cold. ;-;

Sorvete de chiclete, minha primeira vez provando ( ^◡◡^)/ bubblegum ice cream, my first try ( ^◡◡^)

Bonito,não é? A verdade é que era a mesma sensação de estar no Pólo Norte (つд⊂)''
Beautiful isn't it? Truth is it felt like being in the north pole (つд⊂)''
